If the belt is perfect on all the pulleys except the idler... that's bad right? Just seeing the shining metal compared to the rest of the engine is playing on my novice insecurities lmao?

UPDATE 2023 It was a long time ago but wanted to update this for anyone who sees that the belts on their engine are not lined up right. For me, it was a dangerous thing. The motor mounts we bad. I left the dealership repair shop and they said the motor mounts were bad and needed replaced ASAP. I couldn't afford it though. Needed to wait till next paycheck ya know? On the way home from the shop the frappin' engine just blows up. I was on the freeway in Dallas... BOOM!!!
Had enough momentum to coast to the off ramp and rolled down to a side street. I got out of the thing quickly because smoke was starting to pour out from underneath the hood!
Meanwhile at least two cars that had followed me from the freeway we kind of worrisome. Rager's? I was thinking, "what did I do that caused at least 3 vehicles to come all the way down here?" 2 of them pull right up and there was no where for me to go and the howitzer was stored legally in the trunk so thats useless. Doors are opening... out pops this 20 something
women and she was in a hurry. AND she was in an SUV... I'm thinking "oh sh*t" this is going to be ugly.
However, I hear he repeating "Are you ok?! Are you ok?!" I didn't respond even at first them Im like what "you mean ok to drive?" I wasn't speeding... there was no one next me....even used the indicator...and she was like, "no no! Its just that you were on fire!" Apparently to those in back of me, there just this huhe ball of fire on the road lol.
But yeah, the motor moving around caused the explosion.
